Add movie as separate audio/video track?
OK this is weird. I installed this same Blender version 2.76 on another machine also running LM 18 directly from the Software Manager and it behaves as expected. The movie clip is added as separate video and audio lines.
Thinking the &quot;troubled&quot; machine had a corrupt Blender install, I uninstalled and reinstalled Blender, also directly from the Software Manager, and I get the same wonky results where the audio and video files appear to be superimposed on the same line.
If I add the same video without closing the project, the second time it loads as separate video and audio tracks.
solved:
Reset to Factory Defaults then CtrlU to save and all works now as expected.
